After that Gaargee became silent.

From 8th Braahman --
Then Gaargee, daughter of Vaachaknu said - "Venerable Braahman, I shall ask him two questions. If he answers them, then indeed none of you can ever defeat him in any argument concerning Brahm."

Yaagyavalkya said: "Ask, O Gaargee,"
She said: "Yaagyavalkya, As the son of a warrior from Kaashee or Videh might string his loosened bow, take two pointed foe-piercing arrows in his hand and rise to do battle, so I will rise before thee with two questions. Will you answer me these questions?"

Yaagyavalkya said: "Ask, O Gaargee,"
She said: "O Yaagyavalkya, That of which they say that it is above the Heavens, beneath the Earth, embracing Heaven and Earth, past, present and future, tell me in what is it, woven like warp and woof?"

Yaagyavalkya replied: "That of which they say that it is above the Heavens, beneath the Earth, embracing Heaven and Earth, past, present and future, that is woven, like warp and woof, is the Ether (Aakaash)."
She said: "I bow to thee, O Yaagyavalkya, who hast explained this question to me. Be prepared for the other."

Yaagyavalkya said: "Ask, O Gaargee!"
She said: "O Yaagyavalkya, What is above the Heavens, what is beneath the Earth, what is between, and what is these two, Heaven and Earth, and what is called past, present and future, upon what is all this woven and rewoven like warp and woof?"

Yaagyavalkya replied: "What is above the Heavens, O Gaargee, and what is beneath the Earth, what is between, and what is these two, Heaven and Earth, and what is called past, present and future, is woven and rewoven on the Ether like warp and woof."
Gaargee said: "In what then is the Ether woven, like warp and woof?"

Yaagyavalkya replied: "O Gaargee, the Braahman call this the A-Kshar (the Imperishable). It is neither coarse nor subtle, neither short nor long, neither red nor white; it is not shadow, not darkness, not air, not ether, without adhesion, without smell, without eyes, without ears, without speech, without mind, without light, without breath, without a mouth or door, without measure, having no within and no without. It does not consume anything, nor does anyone consume it.

"By the command of this indestructible Being, O Gaargee, Sun and Moon stand apart. By the command of this A-Kshar, O Gaargee, Heaven and Earth stand upheld in their places. By the command of that A-Kshar, O Gaargee, minutes, hours, days and nights, half-months, months, seasons, years, all stand apart. By the command of that A-Kshar, O Gaargee, some rivers flow to the East from the snowy mountains, others to the West and others to the quarters (ordained for them). By the command of that A-Kshar (indestructible Being), O Gaargee, men praise those who give, the gods follow the sacrifices, and forefathers the oblations.

"Whosoever, O Gaargee, ignorant of this indestructible Being, offers oblations in this world, sacrifices, adores the gods and practices austerities even for a thousand years, his work will have an end. Whosoever, O Gaargee, without knowing this A-Kshar, departs from this world, becomes a miser. But he, O Gaargee, who departs from this world, knowing this indestructible Being, is a true Braahman.

"That Braahman, O Gaargee, although unseen but sees, unheard but hears, unthought but thinks, unknown but knows. There is none that sees but He, there is none that hears but He, there is none that thinks but He, there is none that knows but He. In that A-Kshar, then, O Gaargee, the Ether is woven and rewoven like warp and woof."

Then said Gaargee - "O Venerable Braahman, highly respect my word and acquaint yourself towards Yaagyavalkya by bowing before him. None among you can defeat him in any argument concerning Brahm." After that the daughter of Vachaknu became silent.
